Spring in the vineyard
The 2018 vintage is underway, with bud burst commencing around September 8th this year. Monitoring the vineyard happens on a daily basis during morning walks with Max through the vineyard. Checking for pests and disease, monitoring bud health, and overall new growth as the vines emerge from winter dormancy into Spring, helps with timing of seasonal practices such as baiting for snails and prophylactic spraying for pests.
